It’s nearly time for one of the woolliest weekends of the year at Acton Scott Heritage Farm!
Shearing isn’t just important for keeping our sheep looking smart — it’s essential for their welfare too, helping them stay cool, healthy and comfortable through the warmer months.
And let’s hear it for wool!
A truly amazing natural material — warm, breathable, sustainable and wonderfully versatile. People have been using it for centuries, and we’ll be celebrating all things wool during our traditional Victorian Shearing Weekend!
Save the dates: 13th & 14th June
